Writers Chan Koonchung, Ricardo Adolfo and Bengt Ohlsson to be the juries of Macau Literary Festival 5th Short Story Competition

The 5th edition of The Script Road – Macau Literary Festival Short Story Competition is accepting texts in Chinese, Portuguese and English. The stories should be delivered at the premises of the newspaper Ponto Final, at Rua de Camilo Pessanha, Nº 21, Macau, up to 8pm of November 30, 2016.

The competition will have similar rules to the ones applied in previous years. The winners (one for each language – Chinese, Portuguese and English) will be chosen by writers who visited The Script Road before, with a pre-selection being done by a jury composed by representatives of the festival’s organization and other invited members. Authors Chan Koonchung, Ricardo Adolfo and Bengt Ohlsson – all guests of the Festival in its 2016 edition, last March – will be the juries for this 2016 edition.

The Macau Literary Festival keeps the MOP 10.000 prize money for each of the winners and, as in previous editions, awarded texts will be published in a book – in the three languages – alongside with the ones written by the authors who visited Macau during the latest edition of The Script Road.

The rules for the competition are available at www.thescriptroad.org. The contest continues to be open to all participants who write in Chinese, Portuguese or English. All short stories must be somehow about Macau.

The next book of The Script Road Short Stories and Other Writings collection will be published and presented during Macau Literary Festival 6th edition, in March 2017.

詩人盧衛平與培正中學約200位學生分享了4個與馬有關的詞：「＜騎馬找馬＞，『看見眼前的事物是多麼難』，詩歌要在熟悉的地方有新發現，叫人眼前一亮；＜白馬非馬＞，『整個世界是一個巨大的倉庫，裡頭藏著無窮的秘密』，詩歌不是去揭開秘密，而是去傾聽秘密，去聽花開的聲音，去聽沉點的聲音；＜指鹿為馬＞，窮萬物之理，是鹿還是馬？根據個人情感所需，例：『二月春風是剪刀』，借剪刀形容春風採收；＜老馬識途＞，詩誕生於詩，透過大量的閱讀，去了解詩和寫作。」 ... See MoreSee Less
